If you have your own Twitch channel, re-host our stream to help spread the fun far and wide, bringing even more people into the Gen Con family!

Streaming Stage - Celebrity Games & Events

The Streaming Stage hosts several special events each day, with celebrities, streamers, and industry luminaries playing games not only for a live studio audience, but also everyone watching from home. They will play Dungeons & Dragons or other fun RPG's and games. Some of them are fan-favorite streamers and others are industry veterans launching new games.

If you are at the convention and want to attend any of these events in person, follow the links to get tickets directly to each session. Grab your spot before they sell out!

You can also follow the links for full event details, including descriptions and specific participants.

Streaming Studio - Previews, Demos, & Interviews

The Streaming Studio is where publishers, exhibitors, and sponsors will show previews of upcoming releases, demo new games from the show, and will interview their designers and staff. Each session lasts an hour and the Studio will be running all weekend.

This is a chance for avid gamers at home to visit a booth at Gen Con digitally! You'll see demos of new games and get a peek at what's just around the corner.
